LONDON, Dec. 1l.-I&ev. Mr.. Berry's de
cision was announced from the pulpit OF
Queen street chapel, Wolverhampton, to-
day. Mr.. Berry, in a letter read to the
congregation, referred to the Plymouth
pulpit as one of world wide influence,

question of acceptance had to he decided
under u rigorous exclusion OF all party,
local or personal interests The charge

The broad question thus submitted 10 hin.
bad been the occasion Of Ions perpleXity
and study. He gratefully acknowl
edged the counsel OF the members
of his congregation, some being trustee
leaders in English national lite. Theh
re presentations cOuCurred in referring to
the growing need in England of an evan
gelical pulpit which would make religion
creditable and effective in solving pres sing
problems. The proposal of the cOngrega-
ton to give him additional help in the
pastOrate offered him a chance for ma
tonal work in England. Although the call
to Plymouth church was n strong one he
felt he must remain in England, going on
at any cost with the work to which he had
cousecrated his life. He trusted his de-
cisOn would meet with approval and
thus the brethren III American could con
quCr their regret.

Asked and Answered.

ED. OBsERvER.-If the prohibition
amendment to the constitution, that
you favor so strongly, is passed by
vote of the people, will you please
state that power can prevent man
man from making whisky whenever,
wherever and in what quantity he
may choose; provided, of course,
that he says he is not making it for
"use as a beverage?" BY answer
ing this question you will confer
favor on a seeker for information.
Our correspondent may think he
has in this question a block that will
make prohibition stumble, but justice
and right are behind the movement
and they are " mighty and will pre-
vail" The adoption of the amend
ment by the State would not render
imperative the U. S., laws on this
subject; they would be still enforced.
If this seeker for information" had
written to members of the defunct
Cumberland Club, of Winchester, he
would have learned that M. D..
Smallman, judge of the sixth judicial
circuit, interprets the spirit of the
law correctly, that he is the "power"
that will stop such subterfuges, and
that he will not tolerate any such
flimsy evasions of the law.-Fay-
etteville Observer.

Enjoy Life.


What a truly beautiful world we
live in! Nature gives us grandeur of
mountains, glens and oceans, and
thousands of means of enjoyment.
We can desire no better when in per-
feet health; but how often do the
majority of people feel like giving it
up disheartened, discouraged and
worn out with disease, when there is
no occasion for this feeling, as every
sufferer can easily obtain satisfactory
proof, that GREEN'S August FIowe,'
will make them free from disease, as
when born. Dyspepsia and Liver
Complaint are the direct causes of
seventy-five per cent. of such NAL
aides as Biliousness, Indigestion,
Sick Headache, Costiveness, Nervous
Prostitution, Dizziness Of the Head,
Palpitation of the Heart, and other
distressing symptoms. Three doses
of august F1o,0er will prove its
wonderful effect. Sample bottles, lC
cents. Try it.

Gen. Grants Book.

The following interesting data con-
corning the publication of Gen.
Grants book, was read by the toast
master at the annual reunion of the
Army and Navy Club of Connecticut,
held at Hartford on the 9th ult.
"In binding the cloth books there
was 44,359 square yards of cloth used,
or if put into one pieceit would make
a strip one yard wide and % is miles
long.
The gold used in stamping, letter.
ing, &C., on all styles of binding, if
coined would make $l5, 446.47. The
price paid the gold-beaters for this
gold was sd ,639.5O.
There was 276 barrels of binder
paste used, weighing about $4,000
pounds.
There was q, 1882 sheep skins used,
1921 goat skins and 1873 calf skins.
AS none of these skins were split it
represents, of course, the killing of an
equal number of animals.
There were about 302, $40 reams of
paper used in the printing, which
weighed about 1,S13,SSO pounds, or
9O6g tons. This, put into one piece,
would make a strip two feet wide
and 1,6S28 miles long.
If the books were piled in.one row
the narrowest way-that is, the same
as they would stand in a bookcase
il would take shelf 49, miles long
to hold them.
If the pages of the books were join
ed together it would make strip OF
paper six inches wide and 6,729l
miles long.
Forty-one steam presses were work
ing day and night, over one thou
sand operatives were employed and
over nine thousand agents engaged
in distributing the books. To these
latter-Who were mainly old soldiers
and the widows of soldlers-was paid
in commissions for selling the book
considerably more than one million
dollars in cash,

The Reverence for the Mysterious.
Popular Science Monthly:

Popular Science Monthly:
The average mind clings to the
mysterious, the supernatural. With
out any hold upon the ideal, or any
insight into the beauty and fitness Of
things, the people turn from the
tedium and the grossness and prosi-
ness of daily life, to look for the di-
vine, the sacred, the saving, in the
wonderful, the miraculous, and in
that which battles reason. The dis
ciples Of Jesus thought of the king
dom of heaven as some external con-
dition of splendor, and pomp, and
power which was to be ushered in
bye-and-bye by hosts of trumpeting
angels, and the Son of man in great
glory, riding upon the clouds, and
not for one moment as the still small
voice within them. To find the di-
vine and the helpful in the mean and
familiar, to find religion without the
aid of any supernatural machinery,to
see the spiritual, the eternal life in
and through the life that now is-in
short, to see the rude, prosy earth as
star in the heavens, like the rest,
is indeed the lesson of all others the
hardest to learn.
But we must learn it sooner or
later. There surely comes a time
when the mind perceives that this
world is the work of God also and not
of devils, and that in the order of
Nature we may behold the ways of
the Eternal; in fact, that God is here
and now in the humblest and most
familiar fact, as sleepless and active
as ever he was in old Judea.

He Has One Friend Left.

A mothers love knows how to cast
a CLEAN of comfort even in the cell of
a murderer. There passed through
the New York Custom House, the
other day, package of homemade
candy and some school-books direct
ed to Hugh M. Brooks, who is await
ing execution at st. Louis for the
murder of Maxwell. They were
sent to him from England by his
mother. How true it is that there is
no love in all the world so deep and
strong as that within a mothers
heart.

cleveland's Economy.

Washington Letter to the Savannah News.
Despite all the talk one hears about
the insufflciency of the presidential
salary, there is no doubt that it is
not only ample for all the require
ments of the office, but sufficiently
large to allow. the saving of a snug
little fortune every year besides. He
has no bill to pay for rent, heating or
lighting, and the staff of messengers
and doorkeepers provided at govern
ment expense is sufficiently large to
obviate the necessity of hiring many
servants out of the presidential purse.
The five State dinners required to be
given each year are, comparatively
speaking, inexpensive affairs. Prob
ably none of them cost over $500 or
$500 at the outside. The flowers,
which are ordinarily a matter of con-
siderable expense, are furnished by
the White House conservatory and
the lighthouses of the Congressional
gardens, and the music is furnished
by the Marine band. At the recep-
tons nothing is served-not even ice
water. There is absolutely no ex-
pense attached to them. Every pres
ident managed to save some little
money out of his salary. Mr.. Cleve-
land will retire at the end of his
term with not less, certainly, than
$120, 900. That is doing better proba-
bly, than any of his predecessors did.
1t assuredly is more than he would
have made at his practice in Buffalo
in four years. On the whole, there
fore, it can be said without much
fear of contradiction, that the presi'
Dental office is not half so bad an in
vestment financially as most people
have been led to believe by the state
ments appearing from time to time
in the newspapers.
